Every day is the same for Kate Conway — a dull television show to produce, take-out, reruns on the TV and a worried call from her sister, Ellen. Ellen feels — everyone feels — that Kate has not gotten on with life since the death of her husband six months earlier. So when Kate is offered two TV shows — a documentary on prison inmates and a reality show set in a high end restaurant — she jumps at the chance to bury herself in her work. But a murder at the restaurant and two killers in prison may get the better of Kate, as she rushes to find her footing before being "buried at work" becomes all too real.
